Hopefully we're not going to the absence of a passenger's declaration meaning increased odds of a fine. I don't want to hear "Oh, that ____ there is 'artfully concealed', here's your ticket with $___ fine for XYZ violation."
Not looking forward to the TSA being ticket readers or ID checkers either.
